KarstenMar 26, 2018"do you wanna watch a movie?" "always" RELATABLE CONTENT !
˗ˏˋ suspirliam ˊˎ˗Oct 31, 2014This movie shouldn't feel special. Underneath the extremely likable lead performances from Jenny Slate and Jake Lacy and the hot-button subplot, this is about as Sundancey as Sundance movies get. You've got your underestimated TV comedian making the leap to "serious"…

all i’m asking is for someone to warm my butter
yazz! *･ﾟ✧Sep 25, 2014Jenny Slate is everything. And then some.
Eli HayesMay 13, 2014aka 4 POOP JOKES, 3 WEEKS, AND 2 JEWS. ya know, this isn't a particularly great film (it's a first feature and it moves like one, but the), but i kind of wanted to cry the whole time? i dunno, it sure as shit is refreshing to see a film tackle abortion – which serves…

Ky is "meh" onObvious ChildHave never been so cross between “meh” and “like” before. Unique character development almostttt saved it but the overarching storyline/filler was just sooooo bland and reused.
Boogie Astro is "meh" onObvious ChildThe jokes were terribly unfunny and the story was slow and boring... which is slightly embarrassing for an 85-minute film. 5/10

I miss movies like this. So cute and simple but also with a message but not a in your face message. Times were better in 2014
Reyham likedObvious Childif you break it down it’s such a simple mundane story but it’s so sincere and cute to watch go by
